By My Side Poem by Lisa Flores

why are here by my side
have you not noticed that i am broken beyond repair
every crack
every tear
every scream
do you not see them
when you look into my eyes
don’t you see it
my soul does not belong here anymore it is broken beyond repair
can't you see how my soul is in pain every time you look into my eyes
if you can
tell me why
why am i still here
do you take joy in seeing me suffer, and beg
why is it that you enjoy my suffering
why can’t you let me go
let me die
let me sleep and never wake up again
